Question
Why we have two eyes to view the objects?
✓

Answer

We have two eyes to view objects because.

  1. Two eyes give a wider view.

The horizontal field of view having one eye is 150 degree while having both eyes is 180 degree. This means that with two eyes open we can see a wider area.

  1. Two eyes enable in judging the distance more accurately.

Our two eyes are a few centimeters apart from each other, due to this both the eyes see the same object from two slightly different angles and send two slightly different images of the same object to the brain. The brain combines these two slightly different images to create a three dimensional picture of objects which enable us to judge the distance of objects clearly.
